Security gets a do-over | #Infa15

The security side of IT faces challenges in both function and manpower. Security hustles to keep up with the growth of information, while its leaders hustle to find qualified talent.

“We have to figure out new ways to build products and secure products both for customers and enterprises,” said Bill Burns, VP and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Informatica Corp., who spoke with SiliconANGLE’s Media team theCUBE during Informatica World 2015.

The changing role of the CISO

The role of the CISO is certainly changing with the rise of mobile, IaaS and technology that essentially makes firewalls obsolete. For a project last year, Burns surveyed a number of CISOs about their concerns. Of the executives polled, the main concerns were Cloud, mobility, personal use and work/life integration.

“As a security officer, how do you manage the risk, security breaches and privacy breaches of enterprise data?” asked Burns. “IT doesn’t have control of the components anymore, so how does the CISO manage risk effectively?”

Burns said that the old model of securing products after they are built and produced doesn’t work anymore. “Managing security at scale is something that must be done differently,” he added. “We need to automate things.”
